Version 1.05b Beta Available

[Killerfish Games]

Version 1.05b beta is now available. This version contains fixes to the campaigns in order to continue to resolve the most major and disruptive issues. It also contains the first draft of crew voices which were provided courtesy of subsim.com

To opt in to the beta:
Right click the Cold Waters in Steam library, go to properties and you should have new "BETAS" tab added, then use the pulldown to select the beta you would like to opt into -leave the early access code empty- and the new update should download. When you run the game the version number should read version 1.05b.

Crew voices are disabled by default in version 1.05b.
To enable them simply open default/hud/default.txt and change LogVoiceVolume=0 to a value between 0-1 for volume.

Many thanks!

[Cap'n Darwin]

Sounds great! Thanks for the hard work and continued support.

[YoYo]

Thx!

btw. any user video with crew voice?

[Vengeance]

Guys this is becoming better every update, i do think commands to sett periscope depth, speed and heading would be really useful. Its painful maneuvering manually. Otherwise, thanks so much for the continual updates. really starting to enjoy this game now.

[Killerfish Games]

Updated helm controls are a high priority.

[RushTheBus]

This is a really greate update. While a few of the voice commands may need a bit of polish here and there, its overall adds great atmosphere.

In combat or on the strategic map?

[AveFerrum]

The hard work is appreciated!

This game is amazing and only getting better!

[gekobal]

Noice!

[hoffmannjames]

The new crew voices are great. It adds so much more atmosphere to the game. Huge improvement!

[Dark Neuron]

Appreciate you trying to add more atmosphere to the game with the voices, but I'm not fond of them. I like feeling alone in the depths without any distractions. Request an option to turn them off. :-)

[NappingMan]

From the patch notes:

Added temporary LogVoiceVolume=1 parameter to default/hud/default.txt (set to 0 to disable voices)

[Dark Neuron]

Perfect, thanks
